typically encountered when switching on
the appliance for the first time. Please
ensure sufficient ventilation.

Recipes
Practical hints for best results when toasting
sandwiches:
- The sandwich should consist of two slices
of sandwich bread with a filling in
between.
- All common types of sandwich bread can
be used.
- White bread should preferably be one
day old when it is used for making
sandwiches. Cut off the crust, if any.
- The slices used for the filling (cheese,
ham etc.) should be cut to match the
sandwich shape.
- Before toasting, lightly butter the outside
of the bread and place the slices with the
buttered side against the cooking plates.
The butter helps the browning process
and makes it easier to remove the
sandwich from the cooking plates.
